F.A. Ossendowski (1878-1945) - writer, traveler, journalist, scientific, social and political activist. He was one of the most widely read and most often translated (after Henryk Sienkiewicz) Polish writers of the 20-year interwar period, after 1951 banned by the censorship due to the anti-communist content of some of his works.
